"In 1749-76, there was published in Nuremberg a German translation, by G.L. Huth, of Edwards's 'A natural history of uncommon birds' and 'Gleanings of natural history' ... and Catesby's 'Natural history of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands,' combined into one work under the title of Sammlung verschiedenen [i.e. verschiedener] ausla¨ndischer und seltener Vo¨gel. This was published in nine parts. The plates of Edwards and Catesby were re-engraved by Seligmann and some of those by Edwards further embellished by the addition of figures of plants not in the originals" --J.T.
